Junction 7 will continue to help the people of Newton Aycliffe and surrounding areas. The Foodbank can be accessed by people who have not enough money to buy food. A referral system has been put in place.
Agencies and professionals can refer clients. Clients can also self refer. All foodbank requests must be emailed to junc7tion@gmail.com
A few relevant questions need to be replied to.
If not possible to pick up we have a bank of volunteers who can deliver to homes. This will be all followed by government guidelines.
For the people who have enough money to buy food but can’t get out to do shopping, we have set up a group of volunteers, with a current DBS that can do shopping. Money can be transferred into our charity bank or paypal account. All receipts will be returned. A list of shopping items can be emailed to us.
If people don’t have access to the internet we can be contacted by phone. We will then do our best to get shopping to them.
We are also setting up a buddy service. This will involve a volunteer that has a DBS, contacting a client either by phone, text or social media. This is to check in how they are doing and if they need shopping or just a general chat.
If this service is required or any other please contact us on
